Martin Logan Prodigy with Sonic Frontiers Power


I recently acquired a pair of ML Prodigy speakers. I was running a set of Vandi 3As with a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 tube amp (110W/ch) before the purchase.

When I run the Power 2 to the MLs, though they have a much more WOW sound than the Vandis, I feel the setup lacks midrange at lower volume. I would have thought being both were characteristic of great mids that the mating of them would have been ideal but I am thus far not 100% happy.

When I turn up the volume things start to fall into place, but then it is too loud. :) Media format of choice is vinyl but CD seem to make this combo more alive. Also, the set up sounds a bit distorted and vague at times.

Comment? MLs being under powered? SF Power 3 monos needed? 220W/ch

Ditto the previous responses, I had Prodigies for 5 years used krell 300c then 400cx the ML's love current. Give them what they need and they will reward you with some very fine sound.

Wow, thanks for the input. So it look like the Krell is the best match up. Does anyone know if this has been the "known" consensus and if ML suggests them as well? Also, do my symptoms point to the amp (from your experience) or are these comments general suggestions that more power than the 110W/ch tube that I am running would be good.

It would be a bummer to get a new amp and still have the same issues if the amp was not the culprit. :)
I used Krell and ARC both worked well on my prodigy still I greatly preferred the horn system I replaced them with.
Nak8,

I believe Martin Logan used to feature Parasound amps when showing. The Parasound monoblocks were well built and affordable and matched well with stats if recollection is working.

The Sanders amp mentioned should be looked at real close as Roger Sanders is one of the top stat engineers in the world.

Have Fun!
